Would you translate, please.

But this is nothing but a rumor for now, of course, so we should take it with a boulder of salt.

Now we go nuclear. Intelligence community war going to new levels. Just got an email from a senior intelligence community friend. It began: "He will die in jail."

"He" being DT.

totally useless for espionage and intrigue..

mostly b/c I think his brain is probably going to explode before then...likely on national TV.

Or maybe his intestines will leap up and strangle him, for the good of humanity.

I call it bullshit, really. Some anonymous person said some other anonymous person said something. I give absolutely no credence to anything said by anyone whose name is not included.

We'd all do well to take all such statements for what they really are: Nonsense.

"Woodchuck to Grey Squirrel, Woodchuck to Grey Squirrel... Come in Grey Squirrel. Over"

"Woodchuck, this is Grey Squirrel actual. Over."

"The pizza is in the barn. I repeat... The pizza is in the barn"

"Do not fly with the penguins"

"Acknowledged. Umbrella, printer, subway, 4, 4, 3, 8, 2, buffalo, Hoover"

Why we're seeing tweets like this reported that were made by some old guy who claims to have inside knowledge is beyond me. Who the hell is John Schindler and why do his tweets matter?

Naval War College professor. Slightly crazy. (Or very crazy, depending on your POV) However, if he still has contacts within the IC, and I suspect he does . . .

I find no reason to trust what he says, really. Does he still have contacts? Maybe he does. I worked at the NSA myself, a long, long time ago. I still know a couple of people there. We don't talk about what they're doing. Ever. It's not done.

Personally, I'd class that person as a source of bullshit, primarily. There's a lot of that going around from people who "used to be" in the intelligence community.

Dude's the one who got caught sending a picture of his penis over the Internet, so I guess we can judge him accordingly.

who grew up during the the cold war, with events like the Cuban missile crisis, nuclear bomb drills at school, and knowledge of spies. Hell, just growing up with 007 starting in the 60's!

None of this is mysterious or surprising. Trump's toast, unless they're in on it.

Trump made the worst possible mistake very early on - he dissed and insulted the spy agencies. And, the dumbass continues to do so today. Talk about digging one's own grave!

Think J Edgar Hoover and MLK.

They deal with people in other ways that leave nothing but decades of conspiracy theories.

Is that the Intelligence Community is very angry at the tweetstorm by drumpf this morning. He is ex-NSA and has a running twittr feed that tweets what his contacts on the inside are telling him.

I think IC means Intelligence Community

EM = Email

Full translation -

"He" = Trump

I'd guess that Trump's morning tweet session, combined with this administration's demonstrated disregard for the constitution and their publicly broadcast assertions that they are above the law, have something to do with it.

Trump accused the CIA of being Russia-like before, then went to their headquarters to give an apology. It was, of course, a twisted Trump version of an apology that wasn't an apology at all, but he made an effort at amends.

Then this morning, he tweets this garbage..........

Information is being illegally given to the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost by the intelligence community (NSA and FBI?).Just like Russia

Could we see the heads of the Intelligence and Law Enforcement communities storming the White House and arresting Trump? It's obvious they think he's working for Russia, how can they let him continue to control our nuclear codes if he is beholden to Putin?

And what Putin has on Trump has to be worse than anything we've heard. They have film of him worse than some gross stuff with prostitutes. They have film of him that would destroy him for all time. Either A) They have film of him with a little girl. B) They have film of him with a boy. C) They have film of him killing a little girl or little boy after raping them.

A sitting president cannot be arrested in the traditional sense. The only way to arrest and/or prosecute the president is through the impeachment process. If the president is convicted by the senate, he could then be sentenced, arrested, and sent to prison.

I think a more likely "immediate response" would be a public exposure of conviction-worthy evidence; this would essentially force the impeachment process. Even though he wouldn't be immediately removed from office, he would effectively be removed from power.

The problem I see is this - how much of the republican power structure is involved in this situation? Even marginally? They know this sinking ship will take them all down, even the smallest players, so they aren't likely to do anything. They'll cover up, make excuses, etc.....

Rumpo, of course, probably said "What? You mean the White House is haunted? Is that it? Huh? Huh? Here, pull my finger."

If nothing else, he'll pull the resign-for-VP's-full-pardon move that Nixon did.
